Woken by a gull

Having been woken at 3.30 as my partner got up for work, I was looking forward to a lie-in. However, the gulls outside had other ideas, and began their squawking (Mine! Mine!) at about 4.45. THEN, as I finally dropped off, I was woken by our dog's frantic barking at the window. Yet another gull had crashed straight into the glass, giving us both a fright!

When will gulls learn? And why do they keep pooping on my car?!

The gulls possibly crash into your glass as they see their reflection in it and think its their friends. Put up a screen on the glass so it doesn't reflect!

Park your car elsewhere as its too near the gulls roosting area......should solve that?

Hello terambulan, thanks for your answer.
There is one particular gull-recognisable by his slightly deranged appearance!-who starts fights with himself in peoples' windows!
I am not over-fussed, I just find it odd that year on year they do the same thing! Sadly, we live in a coastal town where there are gulls everywhere, so there is no escaping them! We currently have some in our chimney, nesting down with the pigeon family! They are rife, and moreso because people flytip round here (blergh!).

Parking is on-street, as we are in the town centre, so nothing but terraced houses with no garage! It is a Metro, not a Merc, so I don't break my heart, but it's a bu88er to see a hot fresh turd on my just-washed car!
If the gulls tap on windows which all face same direction then its due to reflection and the gulls are trying to mate with the reflection......

Ah I see. Not so much a fight then, as foreplay? Poor things...You would think they weren't short of love interests, given the amount of them around! It is the same gull that paps on my car, and also sits on the roof of the cars at this end of the street, pecking away again. I think maybe he is lonely!
They would not be that gullible Would they?

Ahahaha! Nice, weecalf ;)
If the car is in the sunshire the roof is probably warm after a cold night......its only try to warm its feet!

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah, u cant deny it that?

Ah terambulan, you are right-now I feel guilty (gullty?!)...

I don't mind in all honesty, as I say, I have a Rover 100, it cost �250, so it isn't like I am too precious about her, ahem, it, I mean it, of course...

Shall we name the deranged gull?
what about calling him gulliver
Question Author
ruthann! I love it! Gulliver he is. Think Gulliver plopped a runny one on the one part of my roof I can't reach without a chair! Poor boy must have had a dodgy takeaway last night...

Question Author
Oh ruthann, that is funny! Poor lady. I bet she had a few choice names for him, yes...

Did you console her with the tale that being pooed on is meant to bring luck?! Or couldn't you speak for the laughing?!
